ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended (NEPA), and the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as amended, the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
Mount Lewis Field Office, Battle
Mountain, Nevada, intends to prepare
an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) to analyze the potential impacts of
approving the proposed Nevada
Vanadium Company, Gibellini Project,
in Eureka County, Nevada. This notice
announces the beginning of the scoping
process to solicit public comments and
identify issues and alternatives; it also
serves to initiate public consultation, as
required, under the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA).
DATES: This notice initiates the public
scoping process for the EIS. Comments
on issues may be submitted in writing
until August 13, 2020. The date(s) and
location(s) of any scoping meetings will
be announced at least 15 days in
advance through local media and
newspapers and on the BLM website at:
https://www.blm.gov/office/battlemountain-district-office. In order to be
considered during the preparation of the
Draft EIS, all comments must be
received prior to the close of the 30-day
scoping period or 15 days after the last
public meeting, whichever is later. The
BLM will provide additional
opportunities for public participation
upon publication of the Draft EIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nevada
Vanadium Company (NVC) proposes to
construct, operate, reclaim, and close an
open pit, heap leach, vanadium mining
operation known as the Gibellini
Project. The proposed project is in the
southern extent of the Fish Creek Range
on 6,456 acres of federal lands
administered by the BLM in Eureka
County, Nevada. The proposed project
area is approximately 27 miles southeast
of Eureka, Nevada, and is accessed from
Eureka by traveling approximately 10
miles south on U.S. Route 50 and
turning south on State Route 379 for
approximately 8 miles and turning
southwest on Fish Creek Ranch Road for
approximately 7 miles.
The proposed project area has been
prospected for vanadium and
manganese since the 1940s, when Union
Carbide explored the area for vanadium
to support U.S. steel production. The
Final List of Critical Minerals published
on May 18, 2018 (83 FR 23295) includes
vanadium, which has been recognized
as a critical mineral due to its strategic
importance in steel manufacturing,
aerospace applications, and grid scale
energy storage. As there is currently no
primary domestic production of
vanadium, the United States is
dependent on foreign sources of
vanadium; this creates a strategic
vulnerability in the event of supply
disruptions for this key mineral. The
Gibellini Project would produce nearly
10 million pounds of vanadium
annually, which would represent
approximately 50% of U.S. demand,
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
making the project a significant
domestic contributor.
The project consists of construction
and operation of an open pit mining
operation and heap leach process
facility to extract and recover vanadium
and minor amounts of uranium as a
secondary product; the anticipated mine
life is approximately 7 years. The
project would commence in 2021.
Reclamation and site closure activities
would require approximately 4 years to
complete. Post-closure monitoring is
estimated to take an additional 30 years.
The proposed project includes mineral
exploration activities in the project area.
Approximately 3.3 million tons of
material would be mined annually.
Mining and crushing would occur up to
24 hours per day, 7 days per week. NVC
would employ up to 120 employees for
the construction of the proposed
Gibellini Project. During mine
operations, there would be up to 120
employees with approximately 30
employees on-site at any one time,
including contractors.
The primary facilities associated with
the Gibellini Project Plan of Operations
are an open pit, rock disposal area, mine
office and facilities, crushing facilities
and stockpile, heap leach pad, process
facility, various process and makeup
water ponds, borrow areas, and mine
and access roads. The approximate
6,456-acre project area and would
include approximately 806 acres of
disturbance and includes all project
components (e.g., mine facilities, access
roads, pipelines) and associated buffer
areas.
The primary components associated
with the proposed Gibellini Project
include the following:
• Construction and operation of mine
facilities to support mining operations.
• Development of an open pit mine
approximately 2,410 feet × 1,560 feet
and an approximate maximum depth of
280 feet.
• Construction of a rock disposal area
to accommodate permanent storage of
approximately 2.5 million tons over the
mine life with an approximate height of
125 feet.
• Construction and operation of
mined ore crushing facilities and
stockpile for ore processing.
• Construction and operation of a
heap leach facility where vanadium
would be leached out of the ore by a
sulfuric acid solution as it percolates
through the stacked crushed ore
material. Minor amounts of uranium, a
secondary product of vanadium
processing, would also be leached into
the solution. Even though the uranium
concentrations in the ore are very low,
the process for concentrating vanadium
